Classroom Support is a specialist SEND staffing agency operating under the Government Commercial Agency's RM6376 framework, Lot 1. It recruits teaching assistants, higher-level teaching assistants, SEND teachers, and cover supervisors for schools and multi-academy trusts. The company serves areas in London, Kent, and Essex, supporting 126 schools and placing 413 positions in the 2025/26 academic year.

The business operates as a supplier under the Government Commercial Agency's RM6376 framework, Lot 1, which mandates capped margins between £45 and £38 per day above the worker's pay rate. This framework route is required for academy trusts from September 2026. Every assignment includes a written audit trail and fixed margins agreed upon in advance.

To get started, schools and trusts can call the business number 01689 475 275 or submit a message via the contact form. Candidates can also reach out to be placed in roles that match their training. The company responds to enquiries the same working day, often within two hours, and offers a 15-minute discovery call with no commitment.

The company provides same-day cover for urgent needs, such as when a Year 4 teacher needs replacement by morning. It also supplies specialist SEND consultants who understand specific school provisions. For longer briefs or discovery calls, headteachers, SBMs, SENCOs, and cover managers can use the online form to connect with regional consultants.

Every candidate undergoes a strict ten-step vetting process before placement, including an interview to explore SEND experience and identity confirmation in person with original passports. The process ensures compliance with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025, and no candidate works if a check is incomplete.

The business holds REC Education Audited status, awarded by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation after an independent audit of its files, policies, and processes. It also maintains Cyber Essentials certification to protect personal data on UK-hosted systems. These credentials confirm high standards in safeguarding and compliance practice.

Some reviewers praise the business for providing audit-ready compliance documentation and KCSiE 2025 aligned safeguarding practice. Users also appreciate the ability to request Single Central Record data and the fixed margins that provide financial predictability for assignments.

The company serves special schools, PRUs, and alternative provisions alongside mainstream schools. It specifically targets schools, multi-academy trusts, and candidates who want their training utilized in real classroom settings across London, Kent, and Essex.

A case study highlights a multi-academy trust that saved around £52,000 by making Classroom Support its exclusive supplier. The trust achieved 20 temp-to-perm conversions and saved 184 weeks of supply fees through 53 placements delivered across the academic year.

The business operates as UK Personnel Group Limited, trading as Classroom Support, with company number 10591977 registered in England. Its physical address is Chatterton Works, Chantry Lane, Bromley, Kent, BR2 9QL, and it can be reached at 0215238233 or via email.

The company states it does not treat compliance as paperwork to be rushed, ensuring every file is checked and signed off against Department for Education standards. Headteachers can feel confident on Wednesday because the vetting process is completed before any teaching assistant starts on Tuesday.

The business claims to offer fair pay and honest expectations for candidates, matching them with roles where they can teach effectively. Consultants are described as knowing SEND specialism and helping candidates find placements where their skills are actually used.

The website mentions that the GCA framework went live on 30 April 2026, requiring trusts to use this route or an equivalent from September 2026. Classroom Support is named as a supplier on Lot 1 of this framework.

The business offers a compliance pack download for schools, trusts, and candidates to review their processes. It also provides a route for headteachers, SBMs, SENCOs, and cover managers to book a 15-minute call with a specialist SEND consultant.
